TRAMS 'BUSES. COMPULSORY INSURANCE OF
CARS.
LEGALITY DISPUTED
For the second time in less than six months, a decision by the Bishop of St. Albans ha aroused controversy.
He ha again upheld the refusal of a clergyman in his. diocese to allow an un- baptised Nonconformist to be married in his own parish church.
The first controversy was last Novem- ber, when the Rev. C. B. Law, vicar of Cheshunt, refused to officiate at the wed- ding of the son of a missionary, who in- formed him he had not been baptised, as he believed only in adult baptism.
THIRD PARTY RISKS.
[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. Į
LONDON, May 5th. The future of the London tramways appears to be somewhat doubtful. For years they have suffered from the com- petition of the buses, and some people have predicted that it was only a matter of time till the trams were scrapped as being too costly to maintain. The Minis- ter of Transport. is, however, anxious to help them, and one expedient is to limit the competition of the bus services. He has issued a new regulation allowing the trams to increase their maximum speed
The present case concerns the action from 16 to 20 miles an hour. The force of the rector of Barnet Parish Church, of this is not apparent as it has always the Rev. W. E. Moll, who, by direction been claimed as the merit of the tram of the Bishop, declined to marry Mr. against the bus that it goes a good deal. Williams, a Nonconformist, and
faster.
The London trams, owned by the Lon- don County Council, have an average speed of something over nine miles an hour, and I am told that this is a better record than any other city tram system can show. The maximum speed for the huses in Londen is 19 miles an hour, but they rarely go as fast as that in the streets. If the trama can work up to their legal speed-a rather alarming pro- spect for anything that happens to get in their way they will be able to beat the buses' top speed by eight miles an hour.
The bus people are expected to go to the Ministry for permission to increase the present speed limit also, asserting that they would be able to get to the win-

Young woman, hoin, smart are you? You know, though I, myself, have by no means reached the stage or the age when I can talk alightingly of the young misses of to-day in favour of those who were purishing when I was a nipper, I can yet look back on those dear, happy pre-war years and say regretfully, "Why, life wasn't nearly so casy then as it is now!"
And it's truc.
There was a lot of excuse then for maidens and women going about with greasy, unattractive hair, muddy, an- emic complexions, badly-made, badly- planned clothes and spineless lack-lustre personalities, 1., «

Mr. Winston Churchill's intimation in the courte of his Budget speech that he is personally inclined to substitute a tax on motor spirit for the present licence duties based on horse-power has given tremendous encouragement to those who have long been advocating a change over on these lines.
